The molecular pathogenesis of schwannomatosis, a paradigm for the co-involvement of multiple tumour suppressor genes in tumorigenesis [PDF]

, 2016
Schwannomatosis is characterized by the predisposition to develop multiple schwannomas and, less commonly, meningiomas. Despite the clinical overlap with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), schwannomatosis is not caused by germline NF2 gene mutations ...

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear

The Current Situation and Development of Endoscopic Ear Surgery in China

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ear surgery has been widely performed in China since 2015 due to the development and rapid popularization of endoscopic technology. Due to the relative shortness of the auditory meatus, only a fixed endoscope is required in many cases, rather than a motion similar to a nasal endoscope, and uncontrollable bleeding is virtually non ...
